Speaking & Media

Speaking & Media

I regularly speak at conferences, on panels, and in industry forums, and occasionally join podcasts and other media formats, on physical AI, robotics systems engineering, humanoid robotics, safety and engineering rigor, real-world robot learning and deployment, and the industrialization of robotics - including Europe's role in the field.

Most of these appearances happen because of my role at NEURA Robotics, but the perspective is my own: a robotics systems engineer's view of where the field is heading, not a corporate one.
